    Gosh, and I thought it was illegal for a president to record a car commercial for the world’s richest man.

    If Obama advertised any company during any of his official duties there would be people foaming at the mouth to remove him and imprison him for corruption.

    But with Trump it’s just Tuesday.

    Well Trump is known for stupid decisions, so buying a Tesla is yet another.

    Also, the stock really needs to fall much further. Bubble is still popping and there’s a long way to go to come back to anything remotely reasonable.

    Market cap is still (even with recent losses) bigger than GM plus Ford plus Disney plus Delta Airlines plus Northrop Grumman plus Nike plus Verizon plus CSX Rail.

    Price to earnings is 113. And that’s with dubious and outdated earnings information.

    Absolute insanity. Sell whatever you have now while you can.

    Bro. Dumbass said, “Tesla is so great I will buy one (1)!” That shit is pennies to him, anybody want to guess how many times he will drive it?

    How about, to show his support, he makes a heavy investment in the stock. That would show how confident he is in Tesla.

    Yeah, this article does not have a direct quote for that. It just has a quote of him saying he was going to buy one. Why put it in the title if you can’t show the quote? Or did I miss it where they quoted him saying boycotting tesla is illegal?

    He says enough bat shit crazy shit you don’t need to “trust me bro” quotes to get clicks.

      RTFA.

      “I’m going to buy a brand new Tesla tomorrow morning as a show of confidence and support for Elon Musk, a truly great American,” Trump wrote in a post published early Tuesday morning on Truth Social.

      Trump said “radical left lunatics” are “illegally and collusively” boycotting Tesla, which the president described as one of the best automakers in the world. This action, Trump said, was meant as an attack on Musk and what he stands for.

      Trump also said that he would deem violence against Tesla dealerships to be domestic terrorism, according to Reuters.
